This week I focused on working on the slides for the design presentation. I also spent time outside of the lecture working on practicing the presentation. Besides, our team came up with a list of components that we want to buy and I submitted the order request for the group. We have already received one of the parts and we are still waiting on the rest to come. On top of that, I tried to find help on mobile app development on the slack channel, but so far I haven’t found any help. I am biasing my work on the knowledge I learned from 17437 web application development. I am planning to learn flutter by watching Youtube videos and find educational websites.

This week I focused on preparing the design presentation. I communicated with my group mate to finalize a list of parts we wanted to order and submitted a request form. I also made the presentation slide and drew the block diagram. In my free time, I learn a little about flutter, which is the frame work that we plan to use for the software, but I figured out that I need help with more advanced tricks using flutter. I think I am on track and my plan for next week is to do a couple of mock presentations before going for the actual presentation, as well as continue learning about the framework for our software.

This week, I focused on transforming the design idea that we came up with into a digital prototype on Figma. Since we want to make a mobile app to track the data, I chose an iPhone 14 Pro template as my design template. The figure that I attached below is an example of a software page. Since we are still unsure about the color scheme and style, I left the design in the simplest black-and-white form. I am currently on track this week, and my plan for next week is to start in learning the basics of mobile app development.
